I play the bass clarinet, Bb clarinet, bassoon, and trumpet, and I can switch smoothly between the woodwinds or from either clarinet to the trumpet, but when I switch from the bassoon to the trumpet, my tone on the trumpet is completely messed up and it takes a long time (as in more than a day) to recover.
Is this just because the bassoon and the trumpet have similar but different emboucher requirements? I know for the bassoon, my lips tighten around the reed, and when I play the trumpet, my lips buzz in the cup. Are the embouchers really that different?
Why can't I switch from bassoon to trumpet when I can switch from trumpet to bassoon easily?
Well, it took a while to get used to the trumpet because of the mouth piece. THink about it, the bassoon is way smaller than the trumpet. You just have to wait a while for the adjustments.
Reply:You are right that the different emboucher is the key.
Reply:emboucher are vey important is playong brass,there is no point pulling the slide or pushing the slide,emboucher can decide if it is sharp or flat
